KESPEN Window Privacy Film One Way Daytime Privacy Static Cling Sun Blocking Anti UV Reflective Window Tint for Home and Office, Black-Silver, 17.5 Inch X 6.5 Feet

These were not that hard to install, if you follow instructions and take your time they can look very good. My pictures show during daytime you cannot see inside, and you can see outside with minimal visual distortion. I did not take night pictures, but at night you can see inside. The only downside to these is that looking from inside to the outside at night seemed very poor. This is what I found to work best for install. If you have plenty of material left over after cutting out what you need, use some of the excess to practice with. 1. Get a good squeegee - I got this one EHDIS Small Squeegee 5 inch Rubber Window Tint Squeegee for Car, Glass, Mirror, Shower, Auto,Windows 2. Thoroughly clean your windows. Don't just wipe them down, clean them. Clean them a few times. 3. Measure the glass you want to cover, then add at least a half inch to each edge. So if your window is 20" wide, you want at least 21" of material or more. 4. Cut your material to the amount you just figured out. 5. Make a spray bottle of soapy water. Don't go crazy with the soap, just a drop or two is plenty. 6. Spray your window so that every inch is wet and the water is dripping down - you cannot get it too wet. 7. Peel the plastic protective sheet off the film. 8. Spray the cling side of the film (the same side that had the protective plastic) with your soapy water. 9. Give another couple sprays to the window, especially the top edge if your water has dripped down. 10. Place the film onto the window so that the edges overlap the window. The film will automatically cling to the window and some of the soapy water will go away. You can adjust the position of the film as necessary to get the edges overlapping. 11. Use the squeegee ONLY in a small section of the center of the window - DO NOT wipe to the edges. This will help the film stay in place while you cut it to fit. You do not want to squeegee to the edges because you still need the soapy water to help the edges stick after you get the film trimmed to size. 12. Use a sharp hobby/exacto knife to cut the film. Push the film down so that it gets as far into the corner of the glass and the frame as possible. I found it easier to start from the middle and work my way into the corners. Go VERY SLOW! A nice slow cut will help you cut straight. I also found it helpfull to cut an entire sliver off, and not just to the corner of the window. 13. Once you have it completely trimmed, use the squeegee starting from the center of the window and work your way to the outside edges. Do it multiple times, even if it looks like the soapy water is gone. 14. If you have any edges that are not sticking, gently pull the edge back far enough that you can spray more soapy water in there, then use the squeegee again.

I love this film. I've ordered this 3 different times now. The first one was for the windows to my office. I pump so I needed privacy but wasn't going to buy blinds so I got this instead. In my opinion it worked better than the tint film because this is actually harder to see through. It also worked great for the little door pane windows on the front door. Easy to install just clean the surface first so it'll stick correctly. It comes with the squeegee for the bubbles thay might pop out and a gripper for the protective film to come off. Very good value for the money. Just get a couple of rolls if its for a big project.

overall, i really like this product & would recommend it/buy it again. i got it for the privacy aspect as we live on the ground floor of an apartment building, our windows overlook the sidewalk, & people would always look into the windows to see our cats on their perch. totally understand, i love cats too, but it was weird to have people looking into our home at 8 in morning. an added bonus is that it also blocks some of the sunlight, thus reducing the temperature! (great because our bedroom gets no direct sunlight after sunrise, & that's of course where the AC unit is, so our living room gets ALLLL the sun & turns into an oven) detailed breakdown: 1) light level & appearance i got the lightest tint available (silver-black) as our apartment is quite small, & most of our light is from the sun coming in through the windows. we have legit two rooms that have windows, living room & bedroom, so our apartment can get quite dark & dreary. i didn't want to turn this place into a depression chamber by blocking out even more light. unfortunately, the tint does still reduce the amount of light received (to be expected, i'm not naive), but it's not bad at all. it essentially allows the same amount of light to enter as an overcast day would, so i can't complain. i also only put the tint on the lower portion of our windows (the part that slides up when you open the window) since it's eye-level with the sidewalk, & i left the top portion bare. this really helps retain some of the light while still providing privacy & the cooling effect. it also looks nice! from the inside at least, you can tell that it's definitely a DIY job, but it doesn't look trashy. the little mistakes also aren't noticeable from the outside. side note: i originally bought this same color but had gotten the wrong size (i neglected to measure my windows for some reason), & also not enough. i put it up anyway as practice though, & i'm not sure if they sent me the wrong color or what, but the "lack of nighttime privacy" was not entirely true. it definitely still provided the one-way mirror effect & the resulting privacy - for anyone outside. we could NOT see out of the windows at night. even when we turned off all of the lights & turned on the porch light, we could NOT see out. it was weird. once i got the new roll with the correct size & amount, the problem went away. visibility is still obstructed at night, but not nearly as bad. especially with the lights off. 2) application i meticulously read through the reviews & tried my best to take peoples advice. one guy gave a very detailed breakdown on how to apply it easier without a spray bottle, but i used a spray bottle anyway & it went fine. my only complaint is that it can be tricky to trim the tint in a straight line once it's on the window I used a sharp exacto-knife & went slowly, but the tint is a little thick & it kept catching my blade & making it jerk. to be fair, i only had a plastic protractor to guide my blade, so take what i say with a grain of salt. i wish i had one of those big ol' guillotine paper trimmers that art teachers have, it would've made this so much easier. overall though, it wasn't that bad. bit of a pain, but with some patience anyone could do it. since it's static clean, it's very forgiving if you make a mistake. just readjust & add more soapy water. it doesn't take long to put these up at all. make sure that your window is CLEAN though!! every speck of dirt, every smudge, every little hair WILL become a bubble. i scrubbed my windows with glass cleaner & a sponge, wiped them down with glass cleaner & a paper towel, then sprayed them with soapy water & squeegeed it off & i STILL had dirt trapped under the tint. once your windows will look clean & spotless, clean them two more times & maybe you'll be good. luckily, because the static cling is forgiving, you can peel it up & remove any leftover dirt easily. 4 stars because i spent like three days squeegeeing out the bubbles & still couldn't get them all, but whatever. they're not very noticeable - super hard to see them actually. the tint is almost perfect, i'm just anal. 3) resilience i've had no peeling so far & these have been up for a few weeks now. they even withstand my cats pawing at it when they see a critter outside, which is incredible. if applied properly, these things aren't moving. they are super easy to remove though, which is important for me as a renter. my original test ones also withstood the cats (i was skeptical if they would), & peeled off super easily after being up for a week without leaving any residue. just lift up a corner & it breaks the clinging effect.

its like putting a giant sunglass over your window, works great!

Very cool, a bit tricky to install by yourself, but it's worth it, I just look on the internet and found all the information I needed, my windows look fantastic.

Instructions were clear, and the outcome was nice

More plastic sheet than an actual film... I needed it to match other mirror films I already got and it's totally different quality. Very poor mirror effect as well.

Much smaller item - see picture (12 inch x 4.5 to 5 ft). Not a one way mirror either. Just slightly shiny thin film. Low quality useless item. You are better off using a trash bag to cover windows.
